Willems perfectly captures the Pigeon's expressive personality and dramatic flair, making his bath-time resistance both funny and relatable.
Through a combination of simple text, dynamic speech bubbles, and Willems' signature expressive illustrations, Pigeon Needs a Bath! brings the Pigeon's stubbornness and eventual reluctant acceptance to life.
